As long as /r/Singapore and other sg subs remain online, alternatives are unlikely to gain traction
Unfortunately, looking at the comments in the Singapore reddit it seems that for many, /r/singapore remains their primary subreddit of choice and are unaffected by the reddit blackout
Users will always follow the path of least resistance and reddit alternatives for Singapore will never take off unless we can hit critical mass and offer good content for users to reduce/stop and cutover. I doubt it'll happen even if /r/singapore goes dark as they'll then move to /r/sg/ or /r/askSingapore.
Not to mention the current state of kbin.social and the technical jargon hurdles that intrigued users would be exposed to.
That being said if the primary subs continue to remain offline/restricted, I'm hopeful that more and more users will start to move out as the information and content on reddit starts to get stale. Then we can continue to build a secondary community here on kbin and observe as reddit - while probably will still be dominant, becomes the next facebook.
